what do you mean? you can't figure out what time it is in your zone? (11 pm est is 8am or so in your area) or the fact that some sims are during school time in your area? well, I'm sorry to tell you, but sacademy times are fixed as due to the GMs' free time, alotta them are 20, 30+ and have jobs, ect, and it is pretty convenient for alotta people here because it's after dinner and school and other stuff, please try to catch any sims you can!

+16 GMT eh?

Well lets see if I can help. :D

 

Eastern Standard Time (EST) is -5 hours from GMT. So a sim on Wednesday at 10:00pm EST, is actually Thursday at 3:00 am GMT.

 

You're actually +21 hours EST. (As the schedule lists the sim times.) So a sim at 10:00pm EST, would be about 7:00 pm your time.

 

The only stipulation is that you are on the next day. So when looking at the schedule, a Wednesday sim at 10:00 pm EST, is actually a Thursday sim at 7:00 pm for you.

 

I'm not 100% sure on that. Might want to check the math. But so far from what I have seen it is about that.

 

Correct me if I am wrong. :)

+ 8 GMT = Hong Kong

- 5 GMT = EST (Eastern) United States

 

8 + 5 = 14.

You're correct. No need to be confused. :D
